111: She wants to propose marriage! The Su family is in an uproar!

Ye Linghan's voice was very light, carrying a trace of lazy laughter, as she announced a matter she considered trivial.

These few words, however, transformed into true Chaos Divine Lightning, exploding violently over the Su Family's ancestral land!

Buzz—!

All sounds in heaven and earth were completely drained away at this instant.

The wind stopped.

The clouds froze.

The ceaseless Spiritual Qi waterfalls in the mountains showed a visible disruption in their flow.

Those Su Family Disciples who were just pointing fingers at Su Chen now had their mouths agape at terrifying angles, their expressions completely frozen on their faces.

Some had their swords fall to the ground with a "clang," feeling nothing even as they hit their feet.

Some even doubted their own hearing, causing their Spiritual Qi to reverse on the spot, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

What did they just hear?!

That peerless woman, whose aura was as terrifying as a Demon Lord descending to the world and whose mere presence made Saints tremble, said she wanted to... marry their salted fish His Highness the Divine Son, who was famous throughout the clan for "sleeping" and hailed as the "Myth of Lying Flat"?!

Was this script torn apart by someone and then haphazardly glued back together?!

Could it be that His Highness the Divine Son's year-round secluded sleeping was actually cultivating some kind of incomprehensible supreme divine skill specifically used to attract peerless experts?!

The high-level Elders of the Su Family who had rushed over upon hearing the news suffered a collective Divine Soul shock.

At the head was the Third Ancestor, a living fossil who had personally participated in the suppression ten thousand years ago; his steady and imposing aura instantly crumbled at the edges.

The several Old Ancestors beside him showed looks of shock, doubt, and, most of all, undisguisable hostility and wariness.

Their Physical Bodies and Divine Souls were pinned to the spot at this moment.

In their minds, only one thought remained, frantically battering against their Divine Soul barriers.

Illusion!

This must be a top-tier spiritual secret technique cast by that Demoness, targeting the entire Su Family!

What was the relationship between their Su Family and this Demoness?

The suppressors and the suppressed!

The guards and the prisoner!

Mortal enemies for a hundred thousand years!

Now this prisoner had escaped, and instead of destroying the Su Family on the spot, she was blocking the door and saying she wanted to marry their Family's Divine Son?!

This was ten thousand times more absurd than a Mortal claiming he could shatter the sun with a single punch!

As the other core party involved in the incident, Su Chen's vision went completely dark the moment he heard those words.

He felt as if his Divine Soul had been drained; if Ye Linghan hadn't been holding him, he would have collapsed on the spot.

He instinctively tried to pull his arm out of that warm grasp, only to find that Ye Linghan's slender wrist was like a shackle forged from supreme Laws; no matter how much secret strength he applied, it wouldn't budge.

[It's over...]

[This Crazy Woman! She's not following the script at all! This isn't how the story is supposed to go!]

[According to normal kidnapper logic, shouldn't she use me to threaten the Su Family, demand a massive ransom, or ask the Su Family to lift some kind of curse on her?]

[How did it skip straight to a marriage proposal?! Is this even logical?!]

[I'm... I, Su Chen, an ultimate schemer who has carved the word "survival" into my Soul, a promising youth determined to promote the cause of being a salted fish, am being forced into an arranged marriage by a prehistoric Demoness who just got out of prison?]

[I don't want this! I haven't enjoyed the decadent life of a noble bachelor enough!]

[I still have those three uncancelable marriage contracts with the Yaochi Saintess Ling Qingzhu, the Nine Nether Demoness Liu Ruyan, and the Great Xia Empress Ji Hongxue! The harem hasn't even started, but the battlefield is already full! How am I supposed to live from now on?!]

Su Chen's heart was completely submerged in a flood of despair.

His life was like a runaway horse, streaking wildly toward the cliff of social death on a path he couldn't predict at all.

Just as the entire scene fell into a dead silence and everyone was struck into a state of Soul Emergence by this earth-shattering news.

Seventh Elder Su Qi once again displayed his unique and otherworldly train of thought.

When the words "becoming Dao Companions" and "preparing for the wedding" reached his ears.

Instead of being shocked or incredulous.

On the contrary, an unprecedented brilliant light erupted from his cloudy old eyes!

The grief and heartache on his face were instantly replaced by extreme ecstasy and excitement!

[It worked!]

[His Highness the Divine Son... he actually succeeded!]

In his heart, Su Qi cheered wildly for Su Chen with a voice that was already out of tune!

[I understand! This is His Highness the Divine Son's true plan!]

[What sacrifice of looks, what compromise—my vision was too narrow! Too narrow!]

[His Highness the Divine Son's goal from the very beginning wasn't a simple 'influence,' but... complete 'subjugation'!]

[He wants to use marriage to completely tie this peerless Demoness of unfathomable strength to the Su Family's war chariot!]

[What a shocking masterstroke! What far-sighted supreme wisdom!]

[Once the marriage is successful, the Su Family will essentially gain a supreme combat force beyond the Quasi-Emperor level! At that time, the Wang Family of the Northern Region, the Yaochi Holy Land, and the Great Xia Divine Dynasty will all be like clay chickens and pottery dogs before my Su Family!]

[Ruling over the world is just around the corner!]

[His Highness the Divine Son is truly the number one Qilin Son of my Su Family throughout the ages! He is the light of hope for our Su Family's rise!]

Su Qi's imagination had already broken through the heavens.

Seeing Su Chen's "nothing left to live for" face, he automatically interpreted it as the solemnity and determination of "sacrificing personal happiness for the sake of the Family's great cause."

Seeing Su Chen's hollow and desperate gaze, he automatically interpreted it as the calmness and depth before "great success is achieved."

Su Chen keenly caught the Seventh Elder's fanatically distorted gaze and desperately blinked at him, using all his strength to transmit the Morse code for "Save me! Quickly save me!"

However, the signal Su Qi received was: "Seventh Elder, I really didn't misjudge you, you understand me!"

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he felt Su Chen was great.

This Seventh Elder, who was just in tears, was now trembling with excitement, his old face flushed red, wanting nothing more than to kneel before Su Chen on the spot and shout, "May His Highness the Divine Son live for ten thousand generations and unite Xuanyuan!"

He took a sudden step forward and shouted sharply at the group of Su Family high-level members who were still collectively frozen:

"What are you all still standing there for?!"

"Didn't you hear the words of Her Highness the Divine Sons Consort?!"

This "Divine Sons Consort" was shouted so naturally, so smoothly, and so wholeheartedly, as if he had practiced the title a thousand times in his heart.

"His Highness the Divine Son has exhausted his heart and Soul for the Family, painstakingly securing such a heaven-sent Opportunity for our Su Family!"

"You old geezers are standing here like blocks of wood; do you want His Highness the Divine Son and Her Highness the Divine Sons Consort to see the Su Family as a joke?!"

"Quickly! At once! Immediately!"

Su Qi waved his hand grandly, his voice echoing like mountains and rivers as he roared in a tone announcing that the Su Family had entered a state of war.

"Strike the Emperor-Welcoming Bell eighty-one times! Lay out a hundred-thousand-mile red wedding road! Bring out all the betrothal gifts that have been stored in our Su Family treasury for over a hundred thousand years!"

"Our Su Family will hold the grandest and most magnificent wedding in the history of the Xuanyuan Continent!"

"Anyone who dares to be negligent will be dealt with as a traitor to the clan!"

Su Qi's voice was powerful and resonant, making the entire Su Family ancestral land hum.

Those Su Family Elders who were originally dazed, although their minds still hadn't fully processed it, instinctively felt... it seemed... to make sense?

As for Su Chen, after hearing the Seventh Elder's earth-shattering "Divine Sons Consort" and the subsequent impassioned "mobilization speech."

His throat felt sweet, and a surge of blood rushed to his head, nearly causing him to perform a three-foot blood spurt on the spot.

He stared at the Seventh Elder, who was spouting saliva while directing the entire clan to prepare for the wedding, with a look one would give a prehistoric monster, his brain completely fried.

[Pig... Pig teammate!!!]

[I, Su Chen, have been wise my whole life; how did I end up with a pig teammate whose train of thought is as bizarre as a black hole?!]

[What sin have I committed to deserve this!!!]
